Answer 1

To put the events in chronological order, we can refer to the historical context of each event:

1. Yazoo Land Fraud (Item 11) - This scandal involved the sale of land to private companies at a low price and took place in the late 18th century (1795).
2. William McIntosh and the Treaties of Indian Springs (Item 9) - William McIntosh was a Creek chief who signed treaties in 1821 and 1825 that ceded Creek land to Georgia and the federal government.
3. Worcester v. Georgia (Item 12) - This 1832 Supreme Court case ruled that the state of Georgia could not impose its laws within Cherokee territory.
4. The Trail of Tears (Item 10) - This refers to the forced removal of the Cherokee Nation and other tribes in the late 1830s, culminating in 1838-1839.

Now, we can list the events in chronological order:

1. Yazoo Land Fraud (Item 11)
2. William McIntosh and the Treaties of Indian Springs (Item 9)
3. Worcester v. Georgia (Item 12)
4. The Trail of Tears (Item 10)
